PROJECT DESCRIPTION (continued):
When reviewing a CUP, the deciding body should consider the information in the applicant’s
business plan; however, the key consideration should be the proposed use since the
business plan can change from owner to owner. The CUP runs with the land, and the
deciding body should review the application based on the use described in the
recommended Conditions of Approval (Exhibit 3) as opposed to the applicant’s business
plan.
C. Zoning Compliance
The zoning designation allows a mixed-use project with residential subject to the approval
of a CUP. The proposed project is on a site with existing non-conforming parking, and
requests: a Shared Parking Agreement between the two proposed uses; a request for the
reduction of one residential guest parking space; and proposes to pay parking in-lieu fees
per Town Code to remedy the existing non-conforming parking situation.
DISCUSSION:
A. Project Summary
The proposed mixed-use project would occupy an existing 2,430-square foot commercial
building. The project proposes to reconfigure the existing commercial building into a 1,941-
square foot office and a 489-square foot residential studio apartment located at the rear of
the building. The project proposes removal of an existing carport and storage area located
to the rear of the existing building.
The proposed hours of operation for the office use are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday.
The applicant provided a written description and letter of justification (Exhibit 4), materials
and colors board (Exhibit 6), and development plans (Exhibit 7). Hours of operation are
included in the recommended Conditions of Approval (Exhibit 3).
B. Parking
Existing Parking
The existing site provides a total of six parking spaces and per Town Code the existing
commercial use requires a total of nine on-site parking spaces. The site is therefore non-
conforming for parking. The parking analysis on the following page summarizes the total
number of required parking spaces per Town Code based on existing uses.

Use Square Feet Downtown Parking
Ratio
Required Spaces
Commercial 2,430 1/300 8.1 = 9
Total required: 9 spaces
Provided: 6 spaces
Deficit: -3 spaces
Proposed Parking
The proposed mixed-use project requires a total of eight on-site parking spaces pursuant to
Town Code if less guest parking is allowed and a Shared Parking Agreement is approved.
The proposed project provides a total of five on-site parking spaces as a result of complying
with the requirement to convert one of the existing parking spaces to an accessible ADA
space. Pursuant to Town Code the applicant is given credit for a total of six on-site spaces
because of this requirement. The existing site is constrained and unable to accommodate
additional on-site parking spaces.
The parking analysis below summarizes the total number of required on-site parking spaces
per Town Code based on proposed uses if less guest parking is allowed and a Shared Parking
Agreement is approved.
Proposed On-Site Parking
Use Square Feet Downtown Parking
Ratio
Required Spaces
Office 1,941 1/250 7.8

Shared Parking Agreement -1.5
Total required: 7.8 = 8 spaces
Provided: 5 = 6 (ADA credit)
Deficit: -2 spaces
In order to meet the required parking requirements per Town Code, the project proposes
the use of three different sections of Town Code to address the on-site parking deficiencies
for the proposed uses and site constraints:
1. A request for the reduction of one residential guest parking space;
2. A Shared Parking Agreement between the office and residential use; and

DISCUSSION (continued):
3. Payment of a parking in-lieu fee for the two deficient parking spaces.
Residential Guest Space
The applicant requests a reduction in the guest parking requirement (-1 space) for the
residential studio apartment from Planning Commission. Pursuant to Town Code Section
29.10.150. Number of off-street spaces required:
(b) Parking requirements for downtown. In addition to other parking requirements, one
visitor parking space for each residential unit other than detached single-family or two-
family dwelling shall be required unless the Planning Commission makes a finding that
more or less visitor parking is necessary due to the size or type of housing unit(s).
The applicant has provided justification requesting that the Planning Commission allow a
reduction in guest parking as the site currently has non-conforming parking, the site is
constrained, and parking has been provided to the maximum extent possible. The applicant
states that the proposed mixed-use project will not make the parking burden worse as they
are proposing to utilize a Shared Parking Agreement between the residential and office uses
on site. In addition, the applicant states the project’s location provides a walkable
neighborhood and access to public transportation (Exhibit 4).
Shared Parking Agreement
Pursuant to Town Code Section 29.10.150. Number of off-street spaces required:
(e) Shared Parking. Where uses are required by this division to be served by off-street
parking spaces, and where some of the uses generate parking demands primarily during
hours when the remaining uses are closed, shared parking is allowed, but only if
specifically authorized by the Community Development Director. Issuance of a shared
parking permit must be supported by findings that the shared parking spaces will not
result in the effective provisions of fewer off-street parking spaces than required by this
division. The permit may contain such conditions as are necessary to assure the facts
found will continue to exist, including:
(1) Submission of satisfactory statements by the party or parties providing the proposed
shared parking, describing the users and their times of operation where applicable,
and showing the absence of conflict between them;
(2) Written agreements between the parties setting forth the terms and conditions
under which the shared parking spaces will be operated including: location, number
of spaces, and times of operation where applicable;

DISCUSSION (continued):
(3) Documents showing maintenance provisions; and
(4) Other documents or commitments deemed necessary.
Whenever shared parking spaces are authorized to serve multiple uses, the number of
spaces required shall be based upon the use which generates the largest number
required.
The applicant has proposed the following shared parking hours:
Proposed Shared Parking Agreement Hours
Office 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. - Monday through Friday
Residential Dwelling Unit 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. - Monday through Friday
24 hours – Saturday and Sunday
A Shared Parking Agreement will allow the office use to utilize the existing parking spaces
during office hours and the residential use to utilize the parking spaces during non-office
hour. (Condition of Approval #6, Exhibit 3).
Parking In-Lieu Fee
Pursuant to Town Code Section. 29.10.207. Effect of nonconforming use as to parking on
commercial uses:
(c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) above or section 29.10.215 below, a commercial use
located between Los Gatos-Saratoga Road and Ashler Avenue with lot frontage on North
Santa Cruz Avenue or the northside of Los Gatos-Saratoga Road and west of State
Highway 17 that is nonconforming as to parking may improve and remodel the interior
or the exterior of an existing building that is occupied by the nonconforming commercial
use if:
(1) There is no increase in the floor area of the building;
(2) There is no reduction in the number of parking spaces provided for the use; and
(3) The parking in lieu fee established by Council resolution is paid to the Town.
However, the payment of the in-lieu fee under this subsection shall make the use
conforming as to parking only for those improvements allowed under this subsection.
The analysis on the following page summarizes the number of deficient parking spaces and
required parking in-lieu fee per the total number of required parking spaces per Town Code
based on the proposed uses.

DISCUSSION (continued):
Parking In-Lieu Fee – Office Use
Office Use Required Spaces 7.8 = 8 spaces
Provided Spaces 5 = 6 (ADA credit)
Deficit -2 spaces
Parking In-Lieu Fee 2 spaces x $2,000 = $4,000
The proposed project does not propose an increase in existing floor area. The proposed
project does not reduce the number of parking spaces provided for the use with the
exception of the loss of one parking space due to ADA requirements. The applicant shall
pay an in-lieu fee of $2,000 per deficient parking space for a total in -lieu fee of $4,000
(Condition #7, Exhibit 3).
C. Conditional Use Permit Findings
Pursuant to Town Code Section 29.20.190(a), in order to grant approval of a CUP, the
deciding body must make the following findings:
(1) The proposed use of the property is essential or desirable to the public convenience
or welfare; and
(2) The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the zone; and
(3) The proposed use would not be determinantal to public health, safety, or general
welfare; and
(4) The proposed use of the property is in harmony with the various elements or
objectives of the General Plan and the purposes of the Town Code.
In regards to finding one, the use is essential or desirable to the public convenience because
it would provide a housing opportunity within an existing building that is within walking
distance to Downtown and other amenities. In regards to the second finding, the proposed
use would not impair the integrity of the zone, in that the proposed mixed-use project
would be developed within an existing commercial building. In regards to the third finding,
the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare, as
the conditions placed on the permit would maintain the welfare of the community. In
regards to the final finding, the proposed use would be in conformance with the Town Code
and General Plan as the mixed-use project would provide a new housing unit, the proposed
use would reduce vehicle miles traveled as the site is located within walking distance to the
Downtown and neighboring amenities, and the proposed office use would provide
employment opportunities in the C-1 zone.

DISCUSSION (continued):
D. Environmental Review
The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301: Existing
Facilities. No significant effect on the environment will occur since the project uses an
existing structure with no increase in floor area.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Written notice of the Planning Commission hearing was sent to property owners and tenants
within 300 feet of the subject property. The applicant has reached out to the neighboring
tenants and property owners and provided a summary (Exhibit 5). At the time of this report’s
preparation, the Town has not received any public comment.
CONCLUSION:
A. Summary
The project would allow a mixed-use project with one dwelling unit in an existing
commercial building. The project meets all zoning regulations, if approved through a CUP,
with the exception of parking. The project proposes the use of three different sections of
Town Code to address the on-site parking deficiencies for the proposed uses and site
constraints to meet the parking requirements:
• A request for the reduction of one residential guest parking space;
• A Shared Parking Agreement between the office and residential use; and
• Payment of a parking in-lieu fee for the two deficient parking spaces.
The proposed project meets the objectives of the 2020 General Plan and will provide a
mixed-use development with a new housing unit located within walking distance to the
Downtown and neighboring amenities.
B. Recommendation
Based on the analysis above, staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit
subject to the recommended Conditions of Approval (Exhibit 3). If the Planning Commission
finds merit with the proposed project, it should:
1. Make the finding that the proposed project is categorically exempt, pursuant to Section
15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (Exhibit 2);

RE: 465 N. Santa Cruz Ave.
Conditional Use Permit for Residential Conversion.
Written Description
The project is at 465 N. Santa Cruz Avenue, Los Gatos. The current site has a 2,430 sf building. It
historically has been used for small storefront businesses, such as a vacuum cleaner repair shop
and a nail salon. The new owners, Jamie and Dan Pfister are owners of a Real Estate business and
plan to move their offices into the front portion of the existing building. They would like to
convert the rear 489 sf into a studio apartment.
In addition to the residential conversion other work includes improvements of various aspects of
the building, such as:
Reconfigure interior non-bearing walls
Replace all of the existing windows
Upgrade HVAC system
Upgrade electrical system
Add accessible parking
Add an accessible bathroom,
Demolish the false eave around the back half of the building
Remove the clay tile roof on the front portion of the building and replace it with new
composition roofing
Replace the roofing on the flat portion of the building
Remove the carport and shed at the rear of the property
Add stucco to the concrete block walls
Add a Cornice to the top of the walls
Add window flower boxes along the driveway side of the property
Add a deep wood header trim above the windows
Repaint all exterior finishes
Refresh and add more landscape areas as the parking area allows.
Add insulation as needed
Remove paint from the existing brick

Justification
The proposed uses of the property are essential and desirable for the Los Gatos community. The
new Real Estate offices and a studio apartment will not impair the integrity and the character of
the zone. In fact, the improvements made will only reinforce the character desired in Los Gatos.
Nor will the proposed uses be detrimental to public health, safety or general welfare.
Maintaining and improving existing commercial spaces are both essential and desirable. The
current building is serviceable but does not add to the overall curb appeal that the community
desires. The improvements that we will make to the site and building, such as covering existing
concrete block with stucco, adding window planter boxes and additional trim work, will create a
building that will reinforce the unique scale and character desired in Los Gatos. Please see the
Design Justification Section for further visual improvements.
Although this portion of the street is primarily commercial, adding more housing to the area will
help reduce the pressure on an overtaxed housing market. The idea of mixed-use projects has
long been universally championed by urban planners. Mixed-use developments promote
improvements in home affordability, walkability to homes, workplaces, and amenities, and strong
neighborhoods. It reduces an individual's dependence on expensive and time-consuming
transportation modes that syphon resources from better long-term investments. As Los Gatos’s
housing shortage deepens, innovative strategies for creating new housing are needed. The owners
realize this and have cleverly decided that the extra space in the rear of their building would make
an efficient, cost effective, studio residence. By utilizing this existing un-used space for a
residence, the owners will be creating a new, desirable and essential housing unit that is within
walking distance of downtown Los Gatos. Residents will have walking access to groceries,
restaurants, etc. In addition, the VTA 27 route runs along Santa Cruz Avenue, which allows
potential tenants easy access to Light Rail, Cal Train and other forms of public transportation.
Regardless of the use, the site is currently under parked (see below for calculations).
Given the sites limitations, parking has been provided to the maximum extent possible.
Even though the zoning parking rules make it appear as if our project is making the
parking burden worse, we would argue that we are not increasing the burden. Because it
is a mixed-use project there is potential for a Shared Parking Agreement between the
residential and office uses on site. We would also argue that, given the neighborhood’s
walkability and the access to public transportation, two parking spaces for a 489-square
foot studio apartment is likely sufficient without an additional visitor parking space. We
formally request the reduction of one guest parking space for the studio apartment.

The proposed shared parking agreement hours are:
Office: 9am-5pm Monday -Friday
Residence: 5pm-9am Monday-Friday, all week-end
The various improvements to the property in conjunction with the change in use will only add
value and character to the neighborhood and is in harmony with the objectives of the Los Gatos’s
General Plan.
Parking:
Existing Use:
Retail Downtown: 1 space per 300 sf
2,430 sf of space = 8.1 (9) spaces needed
Existing spaces provided = 6
No ADA space and access aisle provided
Deficit = - 3 spaces
Proposed Use:
Office: 1 space per 250 sf spaces
1941 sf of space: 7.8
Residential: 1.5
Guest Parking: 1
Request for less guest parking: -1
Shared Parking Agreement: -1.5
Total Required: 7.8
Total Provided: 5=6 (ADA Credit)
Deficit: -2 spaces
We agree to pay the parking in-lieu fee for office use, two deficient parking spaces x
$2,000 = $4,000 per town code.

Design Guidelines Justification
Common Design Guidelines
1.5.1 -1.54
The building is of a size and scale that matches the surrounding buildings. The front and sides of
the front portion of the building have a series of large windows that help break up the front to
make it a comfortable scale. The front portion of the building is made of natural brick between
posts and beams. These post and beams of the structure are and will remain evident and add to
the character and the richness of the facade. New fiberglass black windows will be installed to add
another layer of depth and interest. On the recessed wall near the entry new stained wood will be
added with black business letters, further adding to the layering of the front portion of the
building.
The rear portion of the building is currently exposed concrete block. The concrete block will be
covered over with stucco. This stucco will be tied into the front portion of the building by
painting it the same cream color that the post and beams will be painted. A cornice capping the
top of the parapet will be added along the side and rear elevations. The side wall along the
driveway currently has metal windows. These windows will be replaced with the black fiberglass
windows to match the new front windows. The windows will help unify the two portions of the
building. Under the windows along the driveway, new window plant boxes will be added to
soften and to add interest to this long wall. Additionally, a wide header trim will be added above
these windows.
1.5.5
The new trash enclosures will be in the back, well away from public view. However, the enclosure
will be made of stucco to match the new stucco on the concrete block walls.
1.5.6
No rooftop equipment will be visible from the public way. Please see A2.1, Roof Plan and Site Line
Diagram
1.5.7-1.5.8
The front parking area only has one regular space and one Van Accessible space. As space allows
(about 4’), new landscaping will be added to the area between the first spot and sidewalk. There
will also continue to be landscaping between the building and the parking area and the side
property line and the parking area.
1.5.9
Paint will be removed from the existing brick exposing the rich natural colors of the brick. The
heavy timbers and trim will be freshly painted. The exposed concrete block will be covered with
stucco. The asphalt at all paved areas in the front portion of the property will be removed and
permeable pavers will be used. Please see the color board.

1.5.10
Landscaping will be used to surround and soften the front parking area. Pottted plants will be
utilized near the front door under the covered entry.
1.5.11
Dark or reflective glazing will not be used
1.5.12
The colors will be muted and will consist of creams, grays and the natural colors of brick and
stained wood. Window frames and lighting fixtures will be black.
C-1 District
2.2.1
The current entry does not face the street. However, the welcoming front porch, expansive
windows on both the front and the sign, the new stained wood wall with black lettering will all
serve to make the entrance easily found and to welcome pedestrians into the building.
2.2.2 and 2.2.3, 2.2.5, 2.2.8
Current parking is split between the rear and the front and that will remain the same. We have
softened the parking area by adding a landscape buffer and changing the lot surface from asphalt
to a permeable herringbone paver. Additional landscaping surrounding the parking area will be
maintained and improved upon.
2.2.6
New planted pots will be added surrounding the front entry
2.2.7
No parking area lighting currently exists. If lighting in the parking area is required, the pole will
be less than 15’ high and will have luminaires with shielding to direct the light downward
